B When I was a little girl, I remember that when my dad was repairing something, he would ask me to hold the hammer, so we would have time for a conversation with each other. I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family. I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning. And when I bought a house several years later, my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat. All he asked was to talk to him, but I was too busy in those days. Four years ago, my dad visited me. He spent many hours putting together a swing for my daughter. He asked me to have a talk with him, but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend. One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately. I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short. Several hours later that day I received a call. My father was in the hospital. Immediately I bought a plane ticket and on my way, I was thinking about all the occasions I missed to have a talk with my dad. By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me. I realized how little I knew about my dad, his deepest thoughts and his dreams. After his death, I learned much more about him and even more about myself. All he ever wanted was my time. And now he has all my attention every single day. 24. What can we learn about the author,s dad from paragraph 1? A. He was fond of drinking. B. He enjoyed family time. C. He had a night part-time job. D. He was a very silent man. 25.

People should often go back to their hometown. D. Family time is valuable and should be treasured. 高二英语 第 5 页（共 10 页） 高二英语 第 6 页（共 10 页） C Mastering the science and art of performing surgery takes a human years of study and practice. Robots, as it turns out, can learn to do surgical tasks much faster. A new study on Robot Learning introduced the world to a medical robot that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to teach itself to perform surgical tasks as well as a human. The research team from Johns Hopkins University and Stanford University used a da Vinci Surgical System in the study. This is a system designed to perform some surgical tasks while remotely controlled by a human surgeon. The da Vinci robot allows the surgeon to work with much greater control and precision. Using a type of AI training called imitation ( 模仿 ) learning, in which an AI model learns a new task by observing and imitating human actions, reported Fast Company, the robot is able to learn the very complex set of actions needed to carry out a surgical task. While training the robot, the researchers consulted with practicing surgeons who evaluated the robot,s performance. In addition, to truly test the robot, they essentially presented it with an unknown scenario (场景 ) that it had not trained on. It was able to perform the virtual simulation (模拟 ) with flying colors. This suggests that the robot was able to generalize, rather than just memorize and would be able to manage the unexpected situations that tend to occur in a real-life operating room. “It,s really magical to have this model where all we do is feed it camera input, and it can predict the robotic movements needed for surgery,” Dr. Axel Krieger, senior author of the study, told Fast Company. “We believe this marks a significant step forward toward a new frontier in medical robotics.” Automated medical devices could make high-quality medical procedures and care available in places lacking medical facilities. Not every small city employs top-tier surgeons in their hospitals. An automated surgeon could bring all the skills and expertise of a human surgeon to the people who need them. 28. How does the robot actually perform surgery? A. By simplifying complex actions. B. By being guided by a doctor at its side. C. By learning from human behavior. D. By remotely controlling a human surgeon. 29. What does the underlined phrase “with flying colors” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Formally. B. Patiently. C. Secretly. D. Perfectly. 30. How does Dr. Axel Krieger find the model? A. It is truly innovative. B. It will be applied more. C. It needs to be improved. D. It is cost-effective. 31. What aspect of the robot does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Its principle. B. Its significance. C. Its target. D. Its development. D On the streets of Manhattan and Washington, D.C., in neighborhoods in Seoul and parks in Paris, ginkgo ( 银杏 ) trees are losing their leaves in reaction to the first gust of cold winter air. This leaf drop, gradual at first, and then sudden, carpets streets with golden, fan-shaped leaves. Scientists are documenting evidence of the event happening later and later, a possible indication of climate change. But the story of ginkgos is not the familiar one of human carelessness with nature. Thanks to fossils found in North Dakota, scientists found a ginkgo has genetically similar ancestors dating back 170 million years to the Jurassic Period. “It almost went extinct. Then humans rescued it and spread it around the world. It,s such a great evolutionary ( 进化 ) and cultural story,” says Peter Crane, a ginkgo expert. One theory for the decline of the ginkgo species begins 130 million years ago, when flowering plants began spreading. They grew faster and attracted more pollinators ( 传粉者 ) than ginkgos. “It,s possible that ginkgos were elbowed out of the way,” says Crane. Already competing to survive, ginkgos began to disappear during a time of global cooling that began around 66 million years ago. By the time the last ice age ended 11,000 years ago, the remaining survivors were found in China. Ginkgo trees are smelly. “My guess is that they were eaten by animals that liked smelly things. They then passed through their body and grew.” Crane says. Those same seeds may have helped ginkgo find favor with humans 1,000 years ago. Once cleaned of their outer layer, ginkgo seeds are safe to eat. It,s then, when the trees had long since disappeared elsewhere, that people in China may have begun planting them and eating their seeds. Then gradually ginkgos spread across the world. Now it,s seemingly naturally resistant to insects and high levels of air pollution. Crane isn,t worried about its future, though: The popularity of the species will help it survive. “Though its status in the wild may be difficult to access, it,s a plant that,s unlikely to ever go extinct,” he says. 32. What may have caused the further delay of ginkgo,s leaf drop? A. The colder weather in winter. B. The protection from city councils. C. The global warming phenomenon. D. The careless interaction with humans. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The reasons why ginkgos almost died out. B. The advantages of ginkgos over other plants. C. The theories of experts for multiplying ginkgos. D. The competition between various flowering plants. 34. What might have contributed to ginkgos, survival? A. Their eatable seeds. B. Their unpleasant smell. C. The natural evolution. D. The careful planting. 35. How does Crane feel about ginkgos, future? A. Worried. B. Uncertain. C. Optimistic. D. Hopeless. 高二英语 第 7 页（共 10 页） 高二英语 第 8 页（共 10 页） 第二节 ( 共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分 , 满分 12.5 分 ) 阅读下面短文 , 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 The latest thing in architecture is green buildings — covering walls and roofs with a carpet of plants to prevent heat, absorb rain and provide a home for wildlife. Many such buildings need complex systems for holding and irrigating the soil. 36 Ivy is a group of evergreen climbing plants, whose power to live is hard to beat. Firstly, it can live in almost any surroundings, whether in shade or full sun. 37 It grows well in both dry and damp soil. Moreover, it doesn,t need supports as it grows aerial roots that can be attached to most things. For these reasons, ivy can be widely grown to beautify an ugly wall or a fence. 38 It is a heaven for bees and butterflies in summer and its berries are a valuable food source for birds in winter. However, there are some concerns about growing ivy. Ivy has a reputation for damaging buildings, but according to the UK,s Royal Horticultural Society, this doesn,t usually happen unless the walls already have cracks. 39 But Blanusa at the University of Reading, UK, who has examined the effects of plant climbers, finds that ivy raises humidity ( 湿度 ) next to the wall by only a small amount. 40 Once ivy has been in the ground for a few years, it can grow out of control. Just don,t let it get the better of you. A. Growing ivy can bring added benefits. B. Therefore, I strongly oppose growing ivy. C. The other fear is that it can make walls damp. D. Besides, it can be tolerant of various kinds of soil. E. Anyway, you do need to be careful in growing ivy. F. An ivy-covered wall will slightly warm a room in winter. G. However, there is a much easier approach: growing some ivy. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节, 满分30分) 第一节 ( 共 15 小题；每小题 1 分 , 满分 15 分 ) 阅读下面短文 , 从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had just finished walking my dog as it got dark.

Now, most people reach for 56 (keyboard) faster than they pick up pens. In a Scottish primary school, however, Mr. Norman Lewis is taking a different approach. He feels that neat handwriting 57 (be) still an important skill, so he has his students write not only by hand but also 58 old fashioned fountain pens. Fountain pens 59 (use) in schools long ago and have been regaining popularity lately because they are refillable. Today, a writer 60 (simple) throws an empty pen away and gets 61 new one.

The topic of the contest was recycling, and the winner would receive the honor of having his or her poster displayed all around the school. This was a big event and he couldn,t afford to miss it. And Shawn was sure his was the best in the class — certainly better than Neil,s! Neil and Shawn were in the same class and the two boys competed in everything, and their test scores and grades were just about equal. They almost never spoke to each other, but everyone in the class knew they were competitors. One thing Shawn excelled at, though, was art. His poster, which showed a garbage pile threatening to crush the school, looked really good. The only problem was the slogan, which was a little boring. It read, “Recycle”. Mr. Wu evaluated all the posters carefully and said, “These are all excellent, but there are two entries that really stand out.” Shawn smiled as Mr. Wu held up his poster and the class clapped. But then Mr. Wu held up Neil,s poster, too. The artwork wasn,t great, Shawn saw, but the words written across the top were powerful. They read, “It,s Your Planet — Recycle It!” Even Shawn had to admit it was a good slogan. Mr. Wu announced that the winner should be decided by a public vote. But their competition ended in a tie. It was really a hard decision, for they both did a good job in the designing, each with their own unique strong points. Shawn walked out of the school, with his head and shoulders hanging down. He knew the chance that his poster would be exhibited was dimming. When he looked up, he saw Neil walking alone a few steps ahead, his face tensing with worry. He cast Shawn a look, but didn,t say a single word. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At that very moment, Shawn had an idea. The exhibition Shawn had been looking forward to finally came.
